The VihoX 110 PP/PS Single-Screw Sheet Extrusion Line is specifically configured to match the continuous raw material feeding demands of medium-capacity thermoforming plants. Featuring an upgraded Φ110 mm single screw with a 32–35:1 L/D ratio and powered by a high-torque 75 kW AC motor, this line reliably extrudes virgin and blended PP, GPPS, HIPS, and PE resins at 200 to 250 kg/h.
Configured with an enlarged Φ450 mm vertical three-roller polishing stack and an 800–1000 mm coat-hanger die, the VihoX 110 provides an expanded cooling surface area that allows higher line speeds up to 30 m/min while maintaining tight sheet thickness tolerances between 0.3 mm and 2.0 mm. Supported by a heavy-duty chain drive mechanism and dual-station torque winder, this machine is the standard choice for cup makers operating 24/7 production shifts.

As sheet output pushes past 200 kg/h, standard calender rollers often struggle to remove latent heat from polypropylene without compromising web speed. The VihoX 110 addresses this bottleneck by stepping up to oversized Φ450 mm mirror-finished calender rolls. The increased roll circumference expands contact wrap angle by 30%, giving the hot sheet sufficient cooling dwell to solidify without internal stresses, curling, or post-extrusion shrinkage.
Continuous PP extrusion requires high thrust bearing capacity to withstand melt pressures reaching 15–20 MPa before the die head. The VihoX 110 extruder utilizes a heavy-duty parallel-shaft helical reduction gearbox featuring integrated oil circulation cooling and high-load spherical thrust bearings. This engineering design ensures quiet, low-temperature operation over continuous 24-hour manufacturing shifts with minimal gear backlash.
The VihoX 110 is widely deployed as the core sheet feed engine across dedicated packaging factories:
The VihoX 110 features an upgraded 75 kW motor (vs 45–55 kW on the 105) and larger Φ450 mm calender rolls (vs Φ350 mm), delivering 200–250 kg/h output with superior cooling capacity for faster line speeds.
Yes. With our bimetallic screw flight hardening, the VihoX 110 easily processes PP compounds filled with up to 30%–50% calcium carbonate filler masterbatch for cost-sensitive food container lines.
The coat-hanger die features a flexible upper lip with differential micrometer adjustment screws, allowing fine manual thickness tuning from 0.3 mm up to 2.5 mm across the entire sheet profile.
For polypropylene, maintaining roller temperatures between 30°C and 50°C prevents rapid quenching shock and sheet curling. For polystyrene, cooler temperatures between 15°C and 25°C ensure high gloss.
The downstream haul-off includes rotary edge slitting knives with an optional inline suction blower or online granulator that routes trimmed edges directly back into the feed hopper.
The standard two-station winder accommodates roll diameters up to 800 mm with standard 3-inch (76 mm) pneumatic air expanding shafts.
The control architecture incorporates reputable international brands including Schneider contactors, Omron digital temperature controllers, and Delta AC inverters.
VihoX delivers complete electrical schematics, foundation drawings, pre-shipment trial videos, and provides on-site field engineering deployment across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and the Americas.
